Did you take music lessons as a kid? We know Glen took piano lessons but it didn’t stick! Same with me! Seven years of piano scales, musical theory, and subjecting my parents to hours of piano practice! I don’t remember much of it, but I do know this. God gave His creation a beautiful gift…
Dearly Beloved, If it feels good, just __________! How would you fill in the blank? If you have been programmed by Nike then the answer is simple, “Just do it!” However, you should think about whether this is a good axiom for living one’s life.

Dearly beloved, When I was a youngster, one of my most frequent complaints was, “That’s not fair!” Everything had to be fair, and if it was not then I was not a happy camper! My dad, if I remember correctly, told me in so many words on more than one occasion that if I thought…
Dear Church Family, How eager we are to worship with you this Sunday on the screen or under the sun. Our topic is a biggie: when to comply with the government and when to politely refuse.
